It used to take 7 touches to close a sale. Now that number has gone up to 16. How can your team find different ways to engage in effective sales conversations to win more customers?

Storyselling is to storysell your products/services/ideas through storytelling to inspire action, whether that is to increase market share, build awareness, or drive sales. We all know that it takes your customers to like and trust you before they buy from you, and there is no faster way to inspire actions than storytelling. A SCORE webinar.
